Across the world, ขุนเทียน (Khunthein 
, ขุนเทียน 
) is a very rare principally male, but very infrequently feminine first name. The forename ขุนเทียน is habitual in South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is a very rare predominantly masculine, but scarcely female name. Much less frequently, ขุนเทียน is the last name as well as the forename.
